JERK SWORDFISH SERVED WITH MANGO FILETS AND PINEAPPLE AND RED ONION SALSA

Steps:

• To prepare the swordfish, remove the skin and trim away any blemishes from the swordfish. Cut it into 2 even portions. Garnish each portion by pressing a sprig of cilantro into the meat. Generously rub the fish in the jerk mixture. Lightly oil a hot griddle or medium saute pan. Cook the fish for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
• Peel the mango, and using the seed to guide you, slice off the meat on both sides. Slice each 1/2 into 3 fillets, lengthwise. Sear the mango on the griddle or pan, alongside the swordfish.
• In a small bowl, combine the pineapple, onion, chopped cilantro, jalapeno, orange juice, and lime juice. Mix all ingredients together, and season with salt, to taste.
• To plate, place the beans in the center of the plate. Arrange the mango fillets and the swordfish neatly on top. Garnish the fish with the pineapple salsa and a sprig of cilantro.
• Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Remove the ends of the beans and slice the beans in half on the bias. Blanch the beans in the boiling water for a couple minutes. When tender, shock the beans in iced water to stop them from cooking further. Reserve the boiling water. Place the butter, chipotle, garlic cloves, and salt in a medium stainless steel bowl over the boiling water. Allow the butter to melt. Pour contents into a blender, and blend on high speed until smooth. Refrigerate.
• To plate the beans, heat 1 tablespoon of the chipotle butter in a saute pan on medium heat. Add the beans and toss in the butter. Cook until the beans are hot and the butter is slightly browned.

GRIDDLED SWORDFISH WITH PINEAPPLE & CHILLI SALSA

Steps:

• Trim the swordfish of any fatty layers and cut out any bloodstained flesh or ask your fishmonger to do this for you. Cut into 4 chunky steaks (about 2cm thick). The thickness must be even for a perfect 'cuisson' (a chef's term for 'doneness').
• In a shallow dish, mix 120ml oil, 1 tbsp sesame oil, juice of 1 lime, 1 lightly crushed garlic clove, 2 good pinches of salt and the rosemary. Put the fish steaks into the marinade, cover and chill from 1 hr to a day until ready to cook, turning them once or twice.
• For the salsa, peel and dice the pineapple and put two thirds of the diced flesh into a blender or food processor with 1 tsp salt, the shallot, 2 tbsp olive oil and the remaining sesame oil. Whizz until smooth.
• Slit the chillies open and remove seeds. Chop the flesh. Peel the lemongrass; cut the stalk into strips then dice. Place the chillies, lemongrass, 1 garlic clove and lime juice into a large mortar. Roughly crush, then work the onions and ginger in to form a paste.
• Finely chop the coriander leaves and shred the basil leaves. Add to the chilli mixture, then mix with the pineapple purée and the extra pineapple dice. Put in a bowl and pour over the remaining 1 tbsp oil. Cover and chill for up to a day.
• To cook the swordfish, heat a grill or griddle pan until really hot. Drain the steaks from the marinade and place on the griddle. Watch the flesh change from translucent to pale cream - the 'cuisson' - 1 min. Turn the steaks and cook for 1 more min - no more! To serve, arrange the cherry tomatoes, cucumber pappardelle and roasted lettuce on plates. Drizzle over the salsa and top with the swordfish.
